Keeping You In Stitches

Archive for February 2010

Yes, any person worth their Irish heritage needs this pillow to complete their decor!

Yep, they are for sale!  Contact me if you’re interested!

While shopping at TJ Maxx, I happened upon this adorable dog bed and knew that little Sofii would absolutely love it!

Doesn’t she look adorable on it?

It was worth all $12.99!!!  She’s such a girlie dog when she wants to be, but can run with the real dogs if she needs too!

Yesterday while sitting and knitting at Enchanted Yarn and Fiber, I was asked what my background is…..after some prolonged thinking, I said I was good at shopping and making messes.  A man that had joined his wife at the shop, said “Oh, you are a messologist.”  I love it….yes, I am a messologist.  Doesn’t that sound very important?  I think I will put that on the tax form this year!

Went to T-Pac this afternoon and since we were there QUITE early because the driver of the car never lifted his foot off the gas pedal, I decided to hit the rest room before the performance started.

Two chatty-Cathy women walked in in front of me.  All the stalls were full, naturally, because it’s a ladies rest room.  A woman walked out of a stall and these two women stood there and argued over who should go in that stall.  After a couple of “no, you go aheads”, I stepped in front of both of them and said “while you’re deciding who should go in next, I think I’ll go ahead of you!”  Look on their faces: PRICELESS

You heard it here people, sometimes conversations in the restrooms are just simply priceless!

Can you imagine how excited I was when I found out there is a new giraffe habitat being built at the Naples, FL Zoo!!!  I may have to adopt another giraffe!  It sounds like it’s going to be very similar to the one at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Colorado Springs, CO where my precious LOLA resides.

I’m beginning to feel a giraffe trip should be made soon….

It will have the deck where you can feed them, etc. 

Todd and Amy are keeping me updated.  Jack Hanna was there, last night, to start a fundraiser for it.  It’s not scheduled to open till 2011…..

Don’t you all agree, I should visit at least every other month? LOL

They are going to be so sorry they told me this! LOL

I’m so excited!!!!  A friend called me today and needed help downloading designs she purchased from Embroidery Library.  (If you’ve never ordered from them, I highly recommend them!)  She wasn’t sure how to download the design to embroidery it.

I talked her through it….yes, little ole me, talked her through it!  This feels like such a break through for me because I’m usually the one trying to get help! LOL 

Now I can’t wait till hubby comes home for lunch so he can help me do some unzipping of files.  I just don’t quite get that yet!

  • Yesterday was close to being successful….. May 7, 2013
    Yesterday we tried to do the unthinkable – getting 3 things accomplished!  When we first moved to Costa Rica, we were “warned” that if we got one thing on our list accomplished, to think of that as a successful day. I had a dental appointment at 2:50 p.m. in Escazu; went smoothly except I have […]

  • Happy May Day! May 1, 2013
    Back in the old country when I was but a wee lass……May Day, May 1st, was a great holiday.  We spent the week before May 1st making May Day baskets.  Then we would fill them with candy, spring flowers, etc. – on May 1st, you would deliver your May Day baskets, hang them on the […]

    Some friends, Frances and Peggy, went to Nicaragua last week for a few days of R & R and to feed the street dogs and to put flea and tick stuff on them.  Frances has Animal Lighthouse Rescue in Atenas. When they returned, I got a text from her saying she brought home a Momma […]

    Here it is April 12 already!  Can’t believe how fast the month is flying by….yay!, since it’s one of the hot months!  Rainy season is creeping up on us….some days it rains now, some days it doesn’t! Yesterday was Juan Santa Maria Day – we kind of think of it as the US’s version of […]

  • Going to Goa? Go In Off Season and Save April 4, 2013
    Our friends Bill and Sandy just returned from a humongous trip that included Singapore and India and Bali and Australia. Don’t know about you, but just thought of planning for such a long trip – they were gone for about 8-9 weeks!  I would have to plan now if I wanted to take my dream […]
